| . About our order of worship: The essence of true worship is covenant renewal. Dialogical: Throughout the service, God speaks to us and we respond. Worship is a conversation. Call to worship: God calls His people out of the world to gather in His presence. He graciously takes hold of us and brings us near to Himself. He is the God who seeks and saves. Confession and Forgiveness: As a people who continue to sin in this life we become fully aware, especially in the presence of God, of our great guilt and therefore we confess ourselves sinners and look to Christ alone for the ground of our salvation. In worship we do this both privately and corporately. Those truly repentant in faith receive the forgiveness of God. Consecration: God speaks to us through His Word read, sung and preached. We, His people, respond by giving ourselves and our gifts in Christ as offerings. We attend to the preaching of God's Word as if Christ Himself were speaking to us in everything the pastor speaks that is consistent with the Scriptures. It is in the preaching that we hear the Gospel. The good news of God's sovereign Grace in Christ. Communion: God invites us to commune with Him and our brethren at His Table, and we respond by remembering His covenant and enjoying His faithful provisions at the sacramental meal. It is in the Lord's Supper that we see the Gospel. Commission and Benediction: God blesses us and charges us to extend His kingdom into the future and into the world. We are dismissed from God's special presence, renewed and equipped for this task. |
